If you’ve recently upgraded from Honeycomb to Ice Cream Sandwich, you may be wondering how to close individual notifications. Honeycomb had an ‘X’ by each notification, pretty simple huh? ICS does away with individual X’s and allows you to either: Press and swipe an individual notification left or right and off the screen (this has the effect of closing an individual notification) Or, you can press the ‘X’ at bottom of the screen below the notifications and this will close
Recently I received the Ice Cream Sandwich Android upgrade on my Acer A100. one of the first things I wanted to try was taking a screenshot using ICS. Thankfully, it is super easy to take a screenshot using Ice Cream Sandwich: Press and hold the Power button and the Volume button (the volume button closest to the corner) After simultaneously holding those two buttons for 2-3 seconds you will see the screen capture!
